Are most area daycares/ecc's going for a covid vaccine mandate for little kids?

[Anonymous]

My kid's preschool just announced that by Sept 1, every child must have had dose one of the covid vaccine (and they will need to complete the dosing/cycle to stay enrolled). The manadate is for everyone eligible (6 months+, although the school doesn't have kids younger than 2...but like for a younger sibling to visit the school with a parent--who must be fully covid up to date-- he/she would need to be vaccinated).

Are most of the schools doing this? (I'm in MoCo). Or is this an outlier?

Wow. That's bold. Vaccine mandates are quietly being dropped because there's no community benefit if they don't prevent infection.

Many preschools in MoCo are doing this, but I haven't heard of a requirement where child visitors are required as well.

I would seek out another school for this overreach alone

Not daycare but our 3.5 yr old’s preschool hasn’t mentioned it yet. Both my kids (3.5 and 1.5) have had one dose so far.

LA county is going back to a mask mandate on July 29th and I can’t wait. So tired of entitles parents at daycares bringing in their sick kids. Now the kids have to mask, while we’ve been masked this entire time.

I hope so.

Visiting children don't spread germs and diseases? Children are repositories of disease.

Why reply to a childcare question when you don't have kids?

Oh and stop going to bars and big events superspreader

We haven’t heard anything yet, and kids are still masking at our daycare.

This is "Childcare other than Daycare and Preschool" and you posted a preschool/daycare question. Please post in the correct area.

I really doubt it. There is mandated vaccines but I don’t think Covid will be added to that list.

No mandate at ours in MoCo. They’re not even quarantining unvaccinated kids anymore for exposures.

Ours requires a second shot by August 15. I've starting touring other preschools in MoCo because of this and have found several that have no plans to mandate it.

Is there any way to find out what preschool this is without outing them for having such reasonable policies and providing the childcare that parents are paying for?

My day care in Fairfax County is requiring the first dose by mid-August. There has been a mandate for everyone ages 5+ to be vaccinated to enter the building since February.
